• At checkout, commercetools sends cart context (ship-from/ship-to, items, quantities, prices, discounts, and customer tax IDs when available) to Sovos for tax determination.
• Sovos returns calculated tax amounts and rate details; results are mapped back to commercetools line items, shipping, and totals, with rounding handled per configured rules.
• Order placement triggers a downstream handoff of finalized order data to Sovos for tax reporting, including adjustments from promotions, refunds, cancellations, and partial shipments.
• Product tax classification, exemption indicators, and customer taxability flags are mapped between commercetools product/customer data and Sovos attributes where applicable.
• Delta-style updates send only changed order events to Sovos; duplicate event handling relies on idempotency keys and order identifiers.
• Integration logs capture request/response payload metadata, error codes, and reconciliation references to support audit trails and reprocessing.
